User friendly names for dimensions

Post by vladino »

Hello all,
is it possible to display user friendly dimension names in TM1 web app instead of system names?

I.e. show "Plan version" instead of "plan_version"?

In TM1 Web there isn't an interface for viewing dimensions as such. The Web subset editor can only be launched from a view or from a SUBNM in a websheet.

However to answer the general gist of the question yes, you can use member caption or localized member caption to change the display name of a cube or dimension. This works in TM1 Web, CAFE, Cognos Insight. It doesn't work in Perspectives or Architect.
Please place all requests for help in a public thread. I will not answer PMs requesting assistance.
